6.38 Product update
-------------------

General notes:
- This is a 'preview' release of TBAV-for-Windows 6.50, which will
have a completely new designed heuristic engine.
The actual reason for this preview release is that we added
detection for four currently quickly spreading viruses: NightFall,
ByWay, WordMacro.Concept, Media.

- This release introduces the final evaluation version of
TBAV-for-Windows95 ! After three months of beta-testing we are
now ready to start shipping our native 32-bit anti-virus
application, with full support of the Windows95 features.

By the end of September we will have all the advanced features of
TBAV-for-Windows, like the Background scanning, Application Execution
Tracker and File I/O monitor, implemented in the Windows95-version
of TBAV!

The final evaluation version of TBAV-for-Windows95 V6.38 is
available (without charge!) from the ThunderBYTE support BBS!
Get TBW95638 or contact your local distributor for more information!

In order to provide you better service we have a dedicated
